Got an issue with alpha brush creation..

Hi, i know by now how to make alpha brushes, but i got one problem i cant figure out. Im simply trying to make small pores that go inwards into my mesh. But i cant manage to do that without the brush also affect the geometry around the pores. I just want the pores to be the only thing that happens, when i use the brush. Not sure how to explain propperly but hopefully you understand, if anyone could help??

Thank you for all help on this, its really appreciated

So long as your alpha is black except for the pores the surrounding geometry shouldn’t be affected.

but if the pores is white, wont they go outwards?

If you turn on Zsub instead of Zadd (in the Draw palette or at the top of the UI) the pores will go inwards.
